Thai Chicken Salad

I recently had a delicious Thai chicken salad at Panera that I loved so much that I decided to recreate it at home. I used mixed greens, leftover chicken, bell pepper, edamame, shredded carrot, cilantro, wonton strips, peanuts, and a spicy peanut vinaigrette for this salad. I thought all of the flavors and textures were fantastic together – this is definitely a new favorite salad.

About Pam

My name is Pam and I am a stay at home mom with two children who inspire me to be a better cook. I love using fresh ingredients, organic when possible, and I like to experiment with different tastes and textures. I try to keep my recipes lower in fat but still tasting great. My favorite hobbies are cooking, photography, and blogging so I decided to combine them and create a recipe blog. It has been a wonderful way to organize my recipes and share them at the same time.

I'm always trying to re-create stuff from Panera! I think I nailed their Asian Chicken Salad. This looks really good too. I often go into long 'Thai-food-streaks' at my house. Maybe someone can give me a hint what Edamama beans taste like – never had them and I'm curious. 🙂

Lovely salad. Love the colors!! I'm a thai peanut sauce junky. There is a local restaruant up here that serves bacon wrapped scallops w/ a thai peanut dipping sauce. I think I eat more sauce than anything. Happy Tuesday!!

Too funny, I am suppose to go to Panera tomorrow for lunch with my aunt. I pulled up the menu online because other than a bagel, have never eaten anything else they offer. I had picked the Thai salad! I know your is better!!!
